(238) The lone hero Wade

The Rockets marched into the Finals with their heads held high, and the biggest stumbling block on the road to the championship - the luxurious Los Angeles Lakers was killed! Or was he killed in such a humiliating way. At this time www.biquge.info almost no one doubts that they will win the championship again and build a dynasty with three consecutive championships!

At this time, the only one who firmly believes that the Heat can win the championship is probably Wade. Under the flashing lights of the media, Wade, who was at his peak and could do everything, overturned the rocket. But other Heat players other than him don't seem to have much confidence, even the big shark O'Neal has never forgotten the tragic history of being killed by the Rockets twice in the playoffs. What's more, now, Yao Ming is getting closer to his peak, this may be the first time, Yao Ming has become the stronger one in the Yao Shark duel.

But the media still gave the Heat some expectations, after all, the Heat was the only team that swept the 73-win Rockets in the regular season this season, after all, it was a 2-0 double. However, both of these games were very difficult to win, in the first game Reed's key equalizing three-point line led to the team's defeat, and in the second game, the Rockets rested a number of main players, which has no reference value at all.

Heat coach Pat Brown. Riley was the gold medal coach of the Lakers in the 80s, coached historical superstars such as Magic and Skyhook, and won 4 championships. At this time, he was 61 years old, and he was not far from retiring from the second line. Although Adelman is also a famous coach, there is a certain gap between him and the "God Operator" Riley in terms of fame and qualifications.

By this time, the players had already taken the stage, and Riley sat on the sidelines, staring nervously at his opponent. He'd seen a lot of winds and waves, but Rocket was a special opponent. In 1967, Riley was selected by the San Diego Rockets in the draft, but was abandoned by the team two years later, and it took several setbacks to join the Lakers. For Riley, the Rockets are an old club and an old enemy.

Wade exploded strongly as soon as he came up, and his lost footsteps left Jefferson, who was marking him, at a loss. Wade was always able to deftly shake off defenders and score points under the basket, scoring 13 points on 6-of-7 shooting in the first quarter to give his team the lead. But the Rockets couldn't guard him, and the Heat couldn't guard the Rockets' ace shooter either, Reed hit three points in a row, almost forming a match with Wade. In the center position, Yao Shark was as expected, and the battle was difficult to solve. Shooting guards and centers form a pair, and the advantage of the Rockets in other positions comes. The slumping Walker, the injured White Chocolate, and the aging Payton and Mourning on the bench couldn't withstand the Rockets' wolves. And O'Neal felt particularly bad at free throws today, he only hit 1 of 9 free throws, completely dragging the team back. The Rockets quickly overtook the score with the depth of the second lineup.

The two sides fought until the last five minutes, when the Rockets only led by four points, at which time Maddie secretly whispered next to Wade: "You're great." In previous years, the first quarterback was a competition between me and Kobe, and now it seems that you have surpassed me. ”

"Ah, thank you." Wade was a little bewildered by the sudden accolade.

"But I'm going to teach you how to play."

Maddy's sudden build-up of defense completely limited Wade's play, resulting in him scoring just one point on 0-of-5 shooting in the final minute from the free-throw line. And Yao Ming scored 4 points in a row to end the suspense of the game. At 82:95, the Rockets won with a wonderful play in the final moments. Reed scored 32 points on 5-of-8 three-point shooting and became the chief contributor.

In Game 2 on June 11, O'Neal was still struggling with a poor free throw shot, making only 1 of 7 free throws, and his playing time was limited by Riley. Fortunately, the Rockets players disdain to use the "shark slashing tactic", otherwise the Heat would not have to play. Iron Ham Mourning hardened once, and he supported the team's interior line as a substitute center to ensure that the basket was not worthy. With the excellent play of Yao Ming and Billups, the Rockets established a huge advantage of 15 points in the first half, and finally won by 17 points.

The Rockets took a 2-0 lead, and at this point almost everyone thought the Finals were decided.

Only Wade disagreed.

On June 13, the two sides moved to the American Airlines Arena in Miami. This time, the Rockets sent Maddy, who had the best defense, to limit Wade's play as soon as they started the game, and Wade knew that it would be difficult to face Maddy, who had a taller arm and longer arms, and he chose to attack the basket to make a foul. The supernova was seen throwing himself in the air again and again, trying to make physical contact.

"It's Flash!" Barkley, who specializes in nicknames, exclaimed.

Wade went crazy, and he came up and scored 13 points on 4-of-6 shooting plus 5-of-6 free throws. In the second quarter, he made 6 of 8 free throws, completely regardless of whether O'Neal was in a slump or not, and whether Walker was hitting iron again and again, the third-year star began to carry the team alone!

Wade shook off Maddie with his unique magical footsteps, and hit a back-to-back shot basket in the face of Yao Ming, which was his 21st point in the first half! In the face of Yao Mai's two superstars, he is also fearless.

Wade ran without the ball, and after a sudden stop, he caught the ball and threw it, scoring his 25th point.

Wade's brisk footsteps suddenly crossed Roy and went straight to the basket for a layup. In the face of Purzbilla's block, he stayed in the air and waited until his opponent was down before making a shot, scoring his 27th personal score.

When the hand was hot, the three-point shot that he was not good at also hit, and Wade scored his 32nd personal point.

As the game entered the final five minutes, the mighty Rockets still led by as many as seven points. Wade exploded again, scoring four straight points to close the gap to one goal. Jason. Williams missed a three-pointer on a tiebreaker, but O'Neal grabbed a valuable rebound at a crucial moment and drew a foul on Yao. O'Neal played at a super level and hit both free throws.

Wade made another fatal steal, and scored a layup on the counterattack, and the Heat overtook it!

The Rockets players woke up from a dream, and they were surprised to find that they had been behind for most of the game. Chauncey, the big heart, finally made a move, and his pull-up jumper pulled the Rockets back into the lead. But Wade, who had been hot for the whole game, suddenly stopped attacking, and his pass was sent to Payton, and this desperate three-point shot was hit!

Old Peyton roared excitedly. He left home for Los Angeles and followed O'Neal to Miami in hopes of winning another crown at the end of his glorious career. But the rockets repeatedly stood in his way to prevent his success. Today, he finally has a chance to take revenge.

In the final 30 seconds of the game, Maddy held the ball and forced a basket to cause Wade's foul. He had a chance to equalize, but he missed his second free throw, and O'Neal picked up the crucial rebound.

The Rockets had to foul, but Wade also hit one of two free throws, and they still trailed by two points.

At the last moment, the rocket's counterattack failed to work. With Bosh's stunner out of the basket, they were eventually beaten 96-98 and made a bad start on the road.

Wade contributed 42 points and 13 rebounds, while O'Neal, the Heat's second-highest scorer, had just 16 points. At this moment, the Heat no longer looks like a team with two stars inside and outside, but like a one-man team with Wade, a superstar! (To be continued.) )
